It looks fine to me, the F in front of the other serial numbers just means they're made or were transferred to the Factory stores. The style was originally made for the full-price stores and Coach.com website, yours is one of those.

The actual style name is - are you ready? - MADISON SAFFIANO LEATHER SMALL SADIE FLAP SATCHEL (can't forget the "Saffiano Leather" part!). Here's the description from the Factory Stores 2014 website, click on the thumbnail:

Thanks so much Hyacinth. Lol wow that's a long description. I love the picture btw. Also, thanks for explaining the F in front of the serial number. I'm starting to like this bag more and more now just like all the other bags I buy to sell. I'm going to wind up keeping them all. Haha. Have a great night and thanks again for your awesomeness.

Hello again. Just re-posting this in case it got missed. Also, please let me know if I missed anything in my request (this is my first authentication request.) Attaching a picture of the creed this time as well. Thanks again!

Dear Authenticators,

Sorry about my earlier post. I believe this request will be more specific and in line with authentication request format.

Can you please confirm if the below is authentic. I am eager to pull the trigger on this one as it is a unicorn buy for me.

Item: Coach Rogue size 30/31
Location: Poshmark Canada
Seller: stefle88
Link: https://poshmark.ca/listing/Coach-1941-rogue-in-1941-red-5fdfb535cb692c2a8d2cd4cf

Thanks so much in advance!

Not all of us authenticate recent styles and not all of us authenticate items on Poshmark. I'm sorry I can't help. I don't know newer styles.

Can you ask for a pic of the tiny white tag with serial numbers? It should be inside the zippered pocket sewn into the seam.

 

[lazysundays]

It looks like Camel to me too. Camel and BT were the only light tan to brown colors available in the late 1999 catalogs.

Good to know and thank you as always, ladies, for your incredible knowledge. I can't wait for this bag to arrive! If it ends up to be BT, I will like just as much

Oh - I didn't know. Thank you so much either way!!

Yes, I can request this. Thank you. Sorry, I didn't realize the authentication was for older styles. Thanks so much!

Good evening,
can you please authenticate this coach fanny pack? Bought from Ebay, however ther pics listed are not of the actual bag sent to me. And when I went back to the listing I noticed it was actually two different bags with two diffent serial numbers. This is the listing, but I'm uploading pics because I believe only the first picture is of the actual fanny pack i received. Thank you!
Listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Vint...-/154254692460?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

How did i overlook this red flag, you're probably thinking???? Scrolling ebay, late night, half asleep. I stumbled on this, and I've been wanting one since forever, and made an offer. It was accepted the following morning.

Measurements: 8" W /5.5" L /2" d

Sorry, forgot these...
There is a square shaped indentation on the tip of the turnlock.

still checking

Sorry, it was listed above with rest of the pics. All pf the pics above are of the item i actually received . Serial No 0029-136

Genuine, as long as the item in the post I'm replying to is the actual item you received. It looks like a Pocket Waist Pack style 507 from the early 1990s

Sorry, I go through posts from the most recent to the oldest and didn't see your original post at first.

Thank goodness! Yes , the item in this post is the actual item i received. I had to take pictures because there were no pictures of the actual item in the listing. Thank you so much!!! I'm still going to let this seller have it about that switcharoo. Smh

No problem at all!!! I'd been waiting on pins and needles for Verification lol I'm so relieved. Still that seller may have a Neutral feedback coming his way. Usually dont like leaving anything other than positive, but that was crazy rotten to put a hodgepodge of pictures that are Not the actual item. Rotten! Thank you again

I'm late in replying but I wanted to add the seller's ID (which you forgot to post).

The seller is kayjaycee and what she did is quite sneaky. Luckily, you got an authentic bag but to show a creed from a different style bag (516) is even more misleading.


For the record, this is the listing:
Coach Vintage Tan Leather Turnlock 2-Pocket Fanny Pack Waist Belt Hip Bag Purse

@Hyacinth @whateve
Is the bag 507 or 516? What is the difference between the 2 styles.

Authentications are for anything.

Some of us tend to be more familiar with some eras and/or categories of items than others.

Thank you - I appreciate the feedback!

We really need to see the serial number underneath the creed stamp, if there is one. Those cosmetic cases have been faked often and without the serial number's production codes they're difficult to authenticate, identify or date. Thank you.

Thank you @Hyacinth , once in-hand I’ll post additional images to aid your authenticity review.

Take care

507 was introduced in 1991. Possibly all 507 styles have an all numeric creed. Here is another one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Vint...895539?hash=item342fb820b3:g:jiwAAOSwdJlfS8zM
I don't have 516 in my files but the two examples you have shown were made in 1994. It is possible they changed a few things so changed the style number. I can't explain why one has rings for a strap and the other one doesn't (at least it doesn't appear to.)

In the future, please include the actual link to the auction, especially if the seller includes a photo of the Entrupy "certificate". Entrupy is one of the least qualified and most frequently wrong online authenticators of Coach items, and all too often their certificates aren't worth the paper they're printed on. NEVER depend on an Entrupy authentication of any Coach product.

You're one of the lucky ones this time though. It's genuine and probably made right around 1989.

Thank you! Your expertise and willingness to share your knowledge is amazing!

The court bag is authentic, made in 2002.

I don't think it's ebay that shows "Willis" in the title of the link. I think it's TPF's software that does that.
